Title: Just ordered today - woo hoo
Post by: jabby on September 03, 2013, 12:33:02 PM: This weekend can't get here fast enough. What do people use to protect their PBC from the elements?

I'm looking at a tarp temporarily but was wondering what others are doing.

My PBC lives on the deck in Minnesota - year 'round.

Congrats and you are gonna love it ;)

Post by: Pit Barrel Cooker Co. on September 03, 2013, 04:33:23 PM: Jabby- Let us know if you need anything by calling us at the number on your PBC, thank you for the business! The WSM 22.5" cover will do the job. We are currently working on a custom PBC cover that should be out by the end of the year first of next year. DO NOT wait on ours as it's important to cover it :) We will let everyone know when it is done.
Thank you again, PBC Co. - Amber

I'll have to see how big this puppy is but that might be the way I go. It'll give me an excuse to clean it out!

Edit : by "it" I meant the garage!
